We can say though that those Windows OS phones exist mostly just for !FUN, so testers are no longer needed there !INDEED. 🤓

Indeed, and Windows is a horrible choice on any hardware. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It indeed allocates a huge portion of the machine's computing resources just for "user-friendliness", and it also is expensive (compared to Linux OS distributions, even paid ones). 💸🤯

Indeed, and it uses system resources extremely poorly, plus all versions of Windows, but most especially the latest versions, are surveillance and data-collection horrors. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Most of those people who need to use the Windows OS for any reason try their best to continue using 10 !INSTEAD of 11 !INDEED. 🤯🤓

Yes, I've heard that, though It's so much better to use Linux, or even one of the BSDs. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

While it's generally always a good idea to use Linux, there are circumstances (especially work) where people are forced to use the other OS. 🤯

If a company forces someone to use Windows, I'd say that it's time to find another job. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think you would say the same regarding computer games, such as "if a game company forces players to use Windows to play a game, then it's time to find another game" !INDEED! 🎮🤯🤣

Absolutely, forcing anyone to use Windows for any reason is cruel and unusual punishment. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that the bright side of it is that people will generally play fewer games and less often, as they would play only Linux (and Android) games !INDEED. 😅
Anyway, how about the other proprietary, closed-source (not free, open-source) competitor of Windows? 🤯😆
!WEIRD !HOPE !PIZZA !WINEX !ALIVE
Yes, and that was the case with me. I don't have time for any in-depth game now anyway, so it's all good.
I can't stand MacOS/iOS either, though it's just ever so slightly better, which isn't saying much. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that spending 20+ hours just to play a single in-depth game should be done only a few days a year !INDEED, even for people who are already gamers. 🧘♂️🤯
I quickly interpreted your phrase "ever so slightly better" as "nevermind the advantages". 😆😅

Indeed, and I can't even imagine devoting so much time to a game now, even ones where I generate usable income.
Well, Linux is still better. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There also are so many dark patterns in games that players should remember to detect and avoid !INDEED. 🎮🤯
How about Android (the FOSS version) which is a fork of Linux? 🤓

Yeah, that's a whole other level of why most gaming is not appealing to me.
I very much appreciate the FOSS version of Android. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Video games that are either free or are paid for only one time for the full version, are for single player only, and don't have random unlockable achievements (such as "Gain 10,000 Gold before the final boss") seem unlikely to have dark patterns. 🎮🧘♂️🤓
I haven't looked at that closely yet, so I'll take your word for it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Well, that's at least in my own experience as someone who loves playing !INDEED. 🎮🤯😅
!LOLZ
Yep, I figured that you were speaking from personal experience. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

We can also say that Free and Open-Source games are unlikely to have (significant) dark patterns !INDEED. 🧘♂️😅

Yes, that's likely true, and FOSS is just better all around. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In case a (main) dev of a FOSS game introduces (significant) dark patterns to it, then someone else can simply create a fork of the game without such dark patterns !INDEED. 😎

True, though forking often creates a fragmentation of development efforts, which strongly increases the probability that the new project will fail. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I think that whoever participates in the fork of such project (a video game in this case) won't mind if their project "fails", for as long as they and some other users (players in this case) benefit from such project (for a good length of time). 🤓 There's also the chance of that fork becoming the "main" version of the app (the game in this case) with the support of the majority of the users (and devs). 😎
!PIZZA
!ALIVE
OK, and maybe so. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In other words, if a dev forks a project and that fork is loved even by just 1% of the end-users of the original project, then he/she may already consider such fork as a "success". 🤓
